Troubleshooting Problems Opening ADZ Files

Common ADZ Opening Problems

The Unarchiver Not Present

When trying to open your ADZ file, you get the error "Can't Open ADZ File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have The Unarchiver installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your ADZ file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: When another ADZ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

The Unarchiver is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Compressed Amiga Disk File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version The Unarchiver (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Most of the time your Compressed Amiga Disk File file was created by a newer The Unarchiver than what you have installed.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the ADZ file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of ADZ file opening issues are due to not having the correct The Unarchiver version installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading ADZ Files

• The ADZ itself is corrupted
• Your ADZ has adversely impacted by malware
• Hardware related to ADZs has device driver corruption
